    better traction, rear wheels, and ETC

    I've only had my 07 Gt for about a month, and I've already found the limit of my stock 235/55R17 Pirelli tires. On a cold day, in a completely stock car, punching it in first results in spinning the tires from 3k on up. I'm interested in not only getting wider rear tires, but also bumping up...

    Trying to purchase a GT500 for MSRP

    Hey, when I got my 07 GT, they had a Ford GT sitting in the showroom, and were asking $120,000 OVER MSRP for it. They say it is the 8th car they got from ford, and that the last one sold for $100k over MSRP. Granted, that is a rare car, and they are in demand, and it's apples to oranges...

    Electronic Traction Control

    Makes a lot of sense.... thanks guys. I didn't realize that it cuts the fuel and spark. I was under the impression it just pulsed the brakes when the tires spin. Its all so clear to me now... Thanks again :SNSign::nice:

    Electronic Traction Control

    I'm still a relatively new Mustang owner (07 GT, manual). A little history about me, my last car had 98 (no, that's not a typo) horsepower, and no traction control (not that it needed it). I have driven many high performance cars in my time, some of which are pretty exotic. But Im pretty...

    Sirius problems

    My Sirius cuts out if there is anything over the trunk.... small house garage of solid cement parking deck. But I recently drove 120 miles back home with a trunk PACKED full of various crap, and did not have an issue whatsoever. I can't imagine that your trunk load being composed mostly of...

    Throttle Respone, but going the other way...

    Thanks for the replies guys.... I guess I'll just have to deal with it until I get a tune. It's really not that bad, just something slightly out of the ordinary. At least this means I don't have to take it to the dealer to check it out...:D

    Throttle Respone, but going the other way...

    Hey all, I'm a new owner of an 07 GT with a manual trans. I've heard many people speaking poorly of the throttle response, which I have noticed. But upon driving the car more, I have another concern. My throttle seems to return to idle quite slowly. Say for instance (not that I make a...

    Who has what type of short/stubby antennas?

    hell, my friend's 1970 chevy Nova has an antenna built into the front windshield from the factory.... this isn't amazing new technology. I can't figure out why nobody offers a kit to retrofit a thin wire antenna onto windshields today... I guess I'll just have to opt for the shorty antenna...

    The competition?

    Coming from a guy who just bought his new 07 GT last weekend, I did some pretty extensive searching when choosing my new car. When looking at performance first, and appearance second, and both on somewhat of a budget, I decided on the GT. The only two other cars that I found with somewhat...

    VA People

    Richmond VA checking in here.... 07 GT, and I don't see that many others on the road, so I may be one of the only central VA drivers checking in. Let me know if you all make it down this way!

    Stupid question, but valid

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I don't like pissing off other drivers, and I know that it REALLY annoys me with the people around here running thier brights at all times. I think I'll give it a shot with them on, and see if I get any slack from other drivers. I agree, they do look cool...

    Stupid question, but valid

    Hey all, I am the proud new owner of a new 07 GT, and had a really stupid question about it. How many of you drive with your fog lights on? Do they function as a wide area low beam, or are they more situated as a high beam? I realise that the high beams are turned on seperately, but what I'm...

    New Grill and A Poll..

    Nice looking grill... I really like it. And surprisingly, I like the yellow fog lights as well. normally I don't like that kind of rally car look, but it seems to fit well on your stang. I may have to consider that grill. I'm not the biggest fan of the honeycomb, and that looks like quite...

    quick questions

    Thanks for the replies guys... I had no idea that the tuners for these cars are so versitile. Most other cars you hear of require you to buy a new tuner each time you make a modification. Sounds to me like these tuners will change just about anything you like. I'll have to start looking...

    quick questions

    Hey all, this is one of my first posts. Just bought an 07 GT a few days ago, and had a few questions after searching around through the forums. It seems to me that everytime a CAI is mentioned, that a tuner is also mentioned. Is this because the CAI really needs to be retuned, or is it...

    billet speaker covers

    I don't care much for the covers. If I were to buy custome covers like that, I'd expect to see the nice speaker behind them. Seems to be the whole point of custom covers. Also, it seems like the design could have been better. Coming from an engineer, there are quite a few ways they could...
